Özet
Öz: Amaç: Elektrik yaralanmaları tüm dünyada oldu¤u gibi ülkemizde de önemli bir sağlık sorunu olup, bu yaralanmalarla ilgili ülkemiz için yeterli veri bulunmamaktadır. Çalışmamızın amacı elektrik yaralanmalarının demografik özellikleri, komplikasyonları ve bu yaralanmalara bağlı gelişen mortalitenin araştırılmasıdır. Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada Ekim 2008-Ekim 2010 tarihleri arasında İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Acil Tıp Anabilim dalına elektrik yaralanması ile getirilen ve tedavi edilen 38 hasta araştırıldı. Hastalarla ilgili bilgiler retrospektif olarak incelendi Bulgular: Olguların 28’i (%73,7) erkek, 10’u (%26,3) kadındı. Elektrik yaralanmalarının en sık 17-29 yaş aralı¤ında olduğu saptandı. Olguların 30’u (%78,9) düşük voltaj, 8’i (%21,1) ise yüksek voltajlı elektrik yaralanmasıydı. Elektrik yaralanmasına yol açan koşullar arasında ev kazaları (%63,2) iş kazalarından (36,8%) daha çok görülmekteydi. İki hastada ölüm nedeni sepsisti. Mortalite oranı %5,3, ortalama hastanede kalış süresi ise 4,1±5,2 gündü. Sonuç: Bu araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular demografik ve klinik özellikleri göz önüne alarak elektrik yaralanmasını önlemeye yönelik farklı bir strateji oluşturmasına hizmet edebilir.

Abstract: Aim: Electrical injuries are an important health problem in our country, as well as worldwide. The aim of this study was to explore the demographic characteristics, complications and mortality associated with electrical injuries. Methods: In this study, 38 patients who had been exposed to electrical injuries and treated at the Emergency Department of, Faculty of Medicine, Inonu University between October 2008 and October 2010 were reviewed. Data pertaining to the patients were analysed retrospectively. Results: Out of 38 patients, 28 (73.7%) were male and 10 (26.3%) female. Electrical injuries were most frequently encountered in the 17-29 year age group, constituting 39.5% of cases. Eight (21.1%) patients were exposed to high voltage and 30 (78.9%) to low voltage. Among the circumstances leading to electrical injury, household accidents (63.2%) prevailed over the occupational accidents (36.8%). Two patients died due to sepsis. The overall mortality rate was 5.3 % and the mean hospital stay was 4.1±5.2 days. Conclusion: The results obtained from this research with respect to the demographic and clinical features can help the development of a particular strategy for electirical injuries.
